Will a GSR crank work in a ITR....? I have to locate one somewhere and cannot afford a new one due to the fact I have a newborn son.... The motor spun a bearing and the shop who is doing the work is telling me that those cranks have some kind of coating on them and shouldnt be turned. He said it WOULDNT last... Is this true? He also advised me NOT to get a remanufactured crank and said that it wouldnt last long either...
I have located a GSR crankshaft but I dont know if they will work in the ITR's.... Any help is appreciated more than I can say.... Thanks in advance!

GS-R crank would work. Your crank must be ****ed up for that

ITR crank is slighly heavier than a GSR crank. The additional weight better quells high RPM vibration. Otherwise, they are the same.

What do you mean exactly by "The additional weight better quells high RPM vibration"?

There will be slightly more vibration at high rpms right?

ITR is about 4 lbs heavier for more stability at higher rpms

Is this a fact or just an estimate? I would like to know.

It is in the acura type r technical guide

http://www.integratyper.org/specs/im...ical_guide.pdf

you can read about the crankshaft differences there.

GSR crank is lighter, will make more power

It will make more "dyno" power due to the decreased rotational inertia. In reality, the true power is unaffected.

Be careful of that guide, as it is misleading. If you read it directly, you would expect the ITR crank to have additional counterweights over the GSR crank. In reality, the counterweight count is the same, but the ITR counterweights have additional mass.

You are definitely right. It is misleading. Thanks guys.
